Hombre

Script: Antonio Segura

Art: José Ortiz

 

In a lawless, post-apocalyptic world, the struggle for survival never ends. Hombre knows that to live he must fight to protect himself. His only concern is to save his own skin. He wanders through an unholy jungle populated by people hungry for violence. This dark and violent story is a caricature of today’s world, where individualism has taken over and violence is increasingly prevalent.

​

   Created during the resurgence of Spanish comics in the years after the fall of Franco, Hombre proved to be the most successful. Enjoying popularity in France, the series was printed in albums by publishers Kesselring, Magic Strip and Soleil Productions. English language translations of the series appeared in Heavy Metal during the 1980s and 1990s.

 

   In Italy, it appeared starting from 1982 in the magazine Lanciostory.

​

  Hombre can be published in two different volumes.

Key Points:

​

• Hombre is a post-apocalyptic series that perceives everyday life as a threat in a devastated society

• Fear, coercion and lack of freedom makes the work a gripping read

• The most iconic collaboration between Ortiz and Segura remains one of the most memorable sagas of the 80s that broke barriers in its time due to its lugubrious and disenchanted tone

• Published with great success in Spain, Latin America, Italy, France, UK and the US
